Sodium chloride intake was studied in rats submitted to different neurosurgical procedures. Intake decreased in animals submitted to bilateral destruction of the basolateral amygdaloid complex, and increased after the same animals were submitted to destruction of the anterior lateral hypothalamus, a procedure which is known to cause increased intak...

Gonadal steroids masculinize and defeminize neuroendocrine development, including behavior. Defeminization makes males less sensitive than females to estrogen for showing female sexual behavior and cyclic gonadotropin secretion. Masculinization makes males more sensitive than females to estrogen for showing male sexual behavior. Thus masculinizatio...
Anxiety is a complex central emotional state which shares common characteristics with fear. Neurobiological and psychobiological investigations have identified, during the last decades, several brain structures and circuits closely related to the above-mentioned central state. Of special importance are the limbic system (including the septohippocam...
The neuroanatomical substrate of seizures induced by picomolar amounts of corticotropin-releasing hormone in infant rats was investigated. Electrographic and behavioral phenomena were monitored in 42 rat pups aged 5 to 22 days. Rat pups carried bipolar electrodes implanted in subcortical limbic structures, as well as cortical electrodes and intrace...

The processing of episodic memories is believed to depend on the proper functioning of so-called bottleneck structures through which information apparently must pass in order to be stored long term. These regions are seen in the basal forebrain, the medial diencephalon, and the medial temporal lobe. We here report a case with circumscribed bilatera...
The kindling paradigm provides a powerful tool for studying the generation, propagation and generalization of seizures. Such reproducible quantitative paradigms are a prerequisite for the experimental study of epilepsy in the developing brain. Kindling has been extensively utilized as a model of limbic seizures in the adult rat; amygdala short-inte...
